Crew SC players “share the love” after receiving valentines from fans

Valentine’s Day has come and gone and if you’re like me, it was just another Wednesday… but I digress.

During this holiday it’s not uncommon to see people show affection by gifting small tokens of appreciation to one another. Fans of the Black & Gold did just that with the help of Save The Crew business ally Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream.

Between Jan. 26th and Feb. 11th fans had an opportunity to send valentines to their favorite Columbus Crew SC players. The valentines were delivered to the players and the response was overwhelming. They took to social media to express their appreciation.

Players and coaches spend many days on the road away from friends and family. A little “home cooking” is never a bad thing. The Black & Gold are headed to Charleston, SC, where it will compete in the Charleston Challenge Cup. Crew SC joins Atlanta United, Minnesota United, and the USL’s Charleston Battery in this preseason tournament.

The Black & Gold begin its Challenge Cup defense against Atlanta United on Saturday Feb. 17th at 5pm. This will be the first time both teams meet since the epic penalty shootout in October. The game will be broadcast on BeIn Sports of Verizon’s Go90 app.
